The mobile X-ray scanner unveiled in Mississauga on Sunday will soon be making its way around the Toronto area, screening for stolen vehicles in shipping hubs and warehouses the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) investigates.<strong></strong>

The $3.5 million scanner will examine shipping containers leaving Canada as part of larger effort to tackle auto theft across the country. The plan incorporates intelligence sharing between law enforcement agencies and “focuses on disrupting, dismantling, and prosecuting the organized criminal groups behind auto theft,” the CBSA announced.

The announcement follows a summit to address auto theft convened by the federal government months earlier.{ai:summary}<p>The new mobile X-ray scanner in Mississauga will help CBSA combat auto theft by screening for stolen vehicles in shipping hubs around Toronto.
